Trisha Ousterhoudt who was born and raised in Los Baños stated she was abused by her parents and pastor at a young age as part of conversion into being straight. She is not a Christian and feels safe when she sees the Pride flag at establishments. She said that she drives a truck and currently she can't tell her dispatcher that she feels safe coming through Madera as Madera doesn't have that symbol of safety.
Donna Dambarino, a Madera County resident for 19 years said that the flag that they honor is the United States flag and the California flag and those represent everyone. Putting up personal belief flags is exclusive because their flags need to represent everyone. She believes that most of the people that are representing the Pride community do not reside in Madera and are coming in from outside areas to force their beliefs on them. She also believes that most of the people in opposition do reside in Madera. She believes that should be taken into consideration as this is their community.
Pastor Roger Leach stated he was born in the old Deerborn Hospital that used to be in Madera; he's been in Madera for about 74 years. He grew up in the City of Madera. He stated that a lot of things going on tonight are politics. He told the Pride community that they don't hate them. Pastor Leach told Council that if a Pride flag is raised then many special interest groups are going to want their flag raised also.
Linda Unger stated that in reference to the person who was abused by a pastor, that pastor was not a Christian to have done something like that. She stated she doesn't hate the LGBTQ+ community. They are loved with the love of Jesus Christ. She stated they are not being hated. They just don't agree with them regarding raising a flag.
Justine, a third-generation resident of Madera spoke in favor of raising the Pride flag.
Lynette Lomeli does not reside in Madera but does come to Madera every day to serve the community by choice. Ms. Lomeli spoke in favor of raising the Pride flag.
A member of the public stated there are two kinds of pride. There is individual pride and nation pride and she doesn't see anyone changing their minds.
Victor Montes stated they are not going to change anybody's mind. What they need to do is train their kids, young people and a lot of adults to respect other people's rights. He stated he didn't like when they went out yelling that they won because there's not going to be any winners. No matter which way this goes, someone is going to say their rights were stepped on and get angry. He also stated that the Council did not approve the proclamation last time. It was a Mayor proclamation.
Melissa Sloan spoke in opposition of raising the Pride flag. She told Council that the people who don't live here, don't vote for Council. She stated Planned Parenthood came up and are supporting this item. She wanted to know if Planned Parenthood was going to stand with her when she requests to have a straight pride flag hung. She stated that the American flag represents all of them. She stated the LGBTQ+ aren't hated. People just don't want the flag raised.
